Manchester United lost 3-4 to Tottenham in the last eight of the EFL Cup, with vice-goalkeeper Biondia rarely showing up but accidentally becoming a key part of the team's loss. Meanwhile, The Sun has revealed that the Red Devils are interested in signing Leeds United's Mesilla goalkeeper to replace Biondia.

Since Fehrenbach joined the United camp last summer, Biondia has made few appearances. He has only tasted defeat in four matches so far and has not set foot on a green field in the Premier League. The poor performance in the EFL Cup has certainly increased the chances of his departure during the winter transfer window next month.

With that in mind, United have launched a search for a new number two goalkeeper and have set their sights on Meslia. The 24-year-old Turkish international has been in the starting XI since joining Ljubljana from Lorient in 2019 and has gained experience in three seasons in the Premier League. It would be a 'food for thought' option for United to take him on.

The French "Giant" scored 12 goals in the Champions League this season and became the key man for the second place in the league. Given that Ona is still playing for Manchester United, I am afraid that his playing time will be greatly reduced if he becomes the goalkeeper of the team. With Leeds United expected to return to the Premier League, it will not be easy for United to convince Mesilla to join the team.
